Art Journaling Tips for Self Compassion and Self Awareness | Three Circle Model

In this video, I share journaling tips for self-compassion and self-awareness inspired by the Three Circle Model of Compassion Focused Therapy by Paul Gilbert PhD. For me, I've found these mindfulness and compassion exercises (similar to self art therapy exercises) are simple art ideas for self-criticism and shame, and self-awareness.

Which circle(s) feel important for you to focus on these days?
For me, it's Soothe and Drive. 😊

[@user-rc8en1dk5l]

🎉Thank you - this looks amazing & I love what you did. May I ask if you have the option to watch the video without music? This is only a personal struggle, but I find it hard to focus on the words when there is a musical addition. Or perhaps a transcript? But it's lovely to hear your voice too! My dear old brain can't seem to manage both! With much gratitude and appreciation. Best wishes. :0)

[@MindfulCreativeMuse]

Thanks so much for your kind words. At this time, I don't know of a way to listen to this without the music in the background. I'll try to keep this in mind as I'm adding music - to ensure it's turned down low if that helps. I often teach in my private classes without music and can definitely appreciate wanting to be walked through a process without the music, too! :)

[@frankietimmers8612]

I’m crazy about your Lifebook 2023 lesson. I can’t stop 😁 I’ve done about two dozen and LOVE IT. Thank you!

[@MindfulCreativeMuse]

You’re so welcome! It’s such a fun and simple mindful art activity! One of my favs recently, too. I’ll be sharing more here on the Channel and in a Mindful Art Masterclass soon! 😍

[@monikamonte6608]

Shared this with a friend with PTSD who also has a couple of grandchildren with PTSD that have journals and a variety of mediums for this practice. I am going to dig out my color pencils today. Thank you!

[@MindfulCreativeMuse]

So happy this exercise resonates with you and that you're sharing it with people you care about!

[@humandesignexperiment]

I’m glad it resonates with you, Melanie! Thanks for sharing it with others you think might benefit from it. ☺️

[@lcchristinechia5842]

Amazing Mindful Art, loving it. Simple art ideas but brings out meaningful self art therapy exercise! Thank you Cynthia.

[@MindfulCreativeMuse]

I'm so glad you found deeper meaning for yourself with this simple mindful art activity! 💜

[@eileenmorris9357]

your ideas and advice are amazing, the only problem i have is hearing clearly what you are saying and have to keep going back, because of the distracting music, which at times is above your voice, thank you so much for your valuable advice and ideas

[@MindfulCreativeMuse]

Thanks so much for your kind words and feedback, Eileen. I’ll keep this in mind for future videos.

[@RinRinKaArtist]

[@laurenpaniati1882]

Anyone have a trasncript of this activity?

[@MindfulCreativeMuse]

Thanks for your question. I created this activity and verbally share walking you through the process here, however, I don't have a written transcript to share at this time.
